🚗 Car Brand Listing Game

Description

What does the application do?

The application is a listing game. In this game, you have to try list 30 car brands out of the available 50 to win.

What technologies did I use?

I used Python 3.9 because it is easy-to-use. It delivers my purpose through straight forward lines of code. I also used an IDE, PyCharm. This is because it has a great project management system and is friendly to beginners (like me)!

What challenges did I face?

I face many challenges. Because this is one of the rather complex piece of code I have written, I often confuse variables and loops. This caused many errors which I later fixed during the vigorous testing phase. I also struggled with popping the inputted value from one list to another, but eventually, I managed to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Installation

Is there any installation process?

Honestly, it depends. There are three ways you can download the file.

• The raw code: This enables you to see all the code. The downside is that you need a python interpreter for it to work. When you have your python interpreter installed, just copy the code and run the program.
• Base Application: If you are sure you already have Python and PyGame installed, you can just download this base application. There is another downside to this. You would need the file "car_brands.py" (also in the repo) in the same folder as this executable in order to run normally. However, if you do not have both Python and PyGame installed, then you need:
• Application with Python Files: You can download the application with all the necessary files. This means, even if your computer does not have Python or PyGame, you can just run through this simple installation process and still play the game. Besides, the file "car_brands.py" would already be implemented. (Installation only takes about 5 seconds, so this option is encouraged - 🌩️ speed)

Using the Project

How to use the project?

Again, it depends. If you chose the first option (raw code) from above, you would need a python interpreter, then just click on run. If you chose the second one , just click on the application and the game runs by itself (but you need "car_brands.py" in the same directory). If you chose the last one, click on the application, allow it to make changes and all that faffle, then follow the instructions. It won't take you longer than 20 seconds to do the whole installation process.

Contribution

How can you contribute to the project?

Simple. Just email me. I will have a look at your profile page and send you an invitation link.

Are there any requirements for contributors?

No, of course not! Who would I be to judge whether you should be able to contribute to the project. Just politely email me and I would happily accept your help. I am determined to set everybody as equals to make this code as good as possible.

What are the rules for contributing?

Just don't mess around with the files. Remember that you may be held responsible for sabotage of any sort.

Project Features

What car brands are there?

I chose the ones that I thought would be most well known to people, not the most common cars we see on the roads. For example, Lamborghinis aren't the Top 50 car brands sold in many places, but it is one of the most well known car brands, so I included it.

Can you cheat?

Prevention measures have been created to prevent user from inputting nonsense answers or repeating previous entries. Of course, you are free to edit the code after you downloaded another copy, where I cannot stop you from deleting the measures.
